It may be badged as a Chrysler, but it is a Mitsubishi to the core. I've owned this car since 2005, buying it as a $500 heap that needs an engine rebuild, wheels straightened, and unbeknown to me, a whole lot of minor details!

This car served me as my daily driver for three years before being retired as my play toy. At 201,000 miles, it has been well worn, but everything except the rear differential and transmission has been rebuilt or replaced during my ownership. Needless to say, the car is very solid.

Sadly, due to me tinkerer nature, it is very not stock. I at least chose the most common iteration of the Starion as the red 1987 Conquest had the highest sales volume for the car's history.

A parting shot. Likely the cleanest the car ever looked. It has seen some dings and dents since then, but after addressing the horsepower and handling department, I intend to come back to the body for some refreshment.
